A kid with connections

Yang Xing was feeling down, and just as he was feeling down...

"Red, what are you doing here? What about the matter to report to the Lord Fourth Hokage?" A very flamboyant boy walked over from not far away.

"Oh, Asuma, there's a little guy here, he must be lost." Seeing the person approaching, the girl, her face flushed, lit up and she spoke to the person with a smile.

"Oh?"

Asuma, with his head in his hands and a relaxed expression, approached.

He glanced at Yang Xing, then lowered his hands and bent down, looking quite arrogant as he said, "Hey, kid, what are you doing here? Don't you know this is the Fourth Hokage?"

You little brat, you're only a few years older than me.

Although this guy looked mature, and Yang Xing did look rather young, he was still a little annoyed to be called a brat.

Wait, this guy is Asuma, which means that the beautiful older woman next to him is Kurenai Yuhi. Hmm, for such a young age, her physique is indeed impressive.

Before Yang Xing could speak, the door to the Fourth Hokage's office was opened.

A Jonin taken aback when he saw Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma. He said, "Why are you two only arriving now? Come in quickly." His brows furrowed, and he looked stern.

As the two agreed and were about to enter, the Jonin's expression changed Jonin seeing Yang Xing.

"Who are you?" The Yang Xing, Jonin for a moment, and then his expression became somewhat respectful. "The Lord Fourth Hokage has been waiting for quite some time."

Yang Xing's attitude was clearly different from Asuma's, leaving the two teenagers completely bewildered. They stared intently at Yang Xing with expressions of curiosity.

Kurenai Yuhi found her little brother even more amusing.

The three pushed aside the door and went straight into the house.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze was giving instructions to a new Anbu Ninja with a serious expression. When he saw Yang Xing and the others enter, he waved for the others to leave and his gaze fell on Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi.

"You guys?" Minato Namikaze looked up with a puzzled expression.

"Lord Fourth Hokage!" Upon seeing the Fourth Hokage in person, the two straightened up, looking somewhat nervous. "We have completed the task you assigned us; we have come to report on this divine artifact."

Yang Xing, standing to the side, casually curled his lip, his posture of standing there with his head in his hands showing absolutely no respect for the Fourth Hokage in front of him.

Kurenai Yuhi was puzzled, and even more curious about Yang Xing.

She couldn't understand why this little brother was so disrespectful, yet no one said anything to him.

Even the Jonin instructor who trained him didn't seem to mind the little guy's carefree behavior, turning a blind eye to it, which really puzzled Kurenai Yuhi.

Oh, this guy actually sat down by himself, he really has no manners.

Kurenai Yuhi frowned, wanting to remind him, but the Fourth Hokage forced him to look away.

"Thank you for your hard work. This re-survey of the terrain will be very helpful for the defense of Konoha." Minato Namikaze smiled, his words very polite. "You two have worked hard."

"Nothing."

The two were so excited and nervous when they were praised.

Kurenai Yuhi's face was flushed; to be praised by the Fourth Hokage was an honor for Konoha ninja.

Unfortunately, just as the two were secretly delighted...

One person impatiently called out, "Hey, Minato-sensei, I also have something I'd like to talk to you about, and I don't have much time right now. Can you hurry up and finish what you've got, instead of all this nonsense?"

Yes, that person was facing the Lord Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Minato Namikaze, whom countless Konoha ninjas respected and worshipped, shouting at him to stop talking nonsense.

Nonsense?

This little guy actually said it was nonsense.

Kurenai Yuhi pouted and glared at the little guy in front of her. This kid actually said that what the Fourth Hokage said was nonsense. She wanted to see how this brat would be criticized.

Yes, but facing the incomparably dignified Lord Fourth Hokage of the village, this little guy is doomed.

"You have something to tell me?" To Kurenai Yuhi's surprise, Minato Namikaze paused upon hearing Yang Xing's words, his brows furrowing. "Is it important?"

"Hmm, it's somewhat important to me." Yang Xing's words, spoken clearly, made Minato Namikaze's expression even more serious.

"Oh!" Minato Namikaze nodded, without saying a word, only glancing briefly at the Jonin still standing to the side.

"Yes!" The Jonin immediately understood Minato Namikaze's intention.

To Kurenai Yuhi's surprise, her Jonin teacher turned around and said directly to them, "Alright, Kurenai, and Asuma, now that you've finished your report, hurry up and leave. The Lord Fourth Hokage has an important meeting to discuss."

They left first, departing decisively.

Kurenai Yuhi was stunned.

Asuma was also stunned.

Kurenai Yuhi's mind went completely blank. She couldn't understand why the Fourth Hokage valued the little brother in front of her so much, even though he wasn't even as old as her.

Although unwilling, the two dared Jonin their teacher, a Jonin, and respectfully bowed before turning and leaving.

The surroundings were completely silent; no one dared to eavesdrop or disturb the peace.

The Fourth Hokage's office was an absolutely sacred place.

Minato Namikaze rested his chin on his hands, his expression serious. "Alright, Yang Xing, what important matter do you have to say? Or have you discovered a way to deal with those ninjas from the Land of Earth? Tell me."

"It's not that kind of thing, it's about Konoha."

"From Konoha?" Minato Namikaze's expression became even more tense. If it was from Konoha, he definitely needed to listen carefully.

"Yeah, that..."

"Mmm."

The Fourth Hokage looked tense. He didn't doubt Yang Xing 'Yang Xing strength and acknowledged his abilities and intelligence. This kid must have made some discovery, a very important one.

"Actually, when I came over, I spotted a beautiful woman, a real beauty, with a great figure. No, I should say a young girl, a beautiful young girl." Yang Xing's tone and words came as abruptly as well.

For a moment, Minato Namikaze and didn't react.

Yang Xing continued rambling on, completely oblivious to the darkening expression on Minato Namikaze: "Although she's still quite young, her figure is very well-developed. Oh, right, you saw her just now, she's the one who came in."

"I'm telling you, this is what you're talking about... this is what you're talking about?" Minato Namikaze slammed his hand on the table, his shout loud enough for anyone outside the door to hear.

"This is a very, very important matter for me." Facing Minato Namikaze's shouts, Yang Xing replied earnestly, "Um, Lord Fourth Hokage, Minato-sensei, Fourth Hokage-sensei, which class and team was that girl in? What was her number? What's her actual age? And it would be best if you could tell me about her family members, uh-huh, her home address, Minato. Just tell me everything, that would be great."

Minato Namikaze: "..."

Minato Namikaze really wanted to beat this kid up.
